If Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire, what does it want? | The Bottom Line

Israeli leaders insist on an open-ended war in Gaza until the Palestinian group Hamas is defeated, but this goal is a “fantasy”, argues former Israeli government adviser Daniel Levy.

Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, tells host Steve Clemons that the biggest problem is the Joe Biden administration’s refusal to act as a superpower and stop bankrolling Israel’s war.

Levy also explains how the war on Gaza has put the ideology of Zionism “under the microscope”, and how Israel and the West have prevented the Palestinians from rebuilding a robust national liberation movement.

Netanyahu wants ALL of the land that Palestinians have & had.

The word “Pause” is a joke! He sent billions worth of weapons already. It’s a complete insult to common intelligence.

Israel's actions for the last 80 years have made it quite clear what they want. The US and Britain's actions are also clearly saying that they know what Israel wants and that they support it. All of these parties, Britain for about 100 years now, have been very consistent with their actions as it relates to this land and the people who live there. There is no need for any of them to verbalize what their intentions are. Actions speak louder than words.

It is making me feel deep shame for being Jewish and sadness and anger toward family members who support Israel. Never again, means never again for everyone. Feel for the Palestinian plight.

Actually Palestinians are the Semite, all the Isrealis are European converts, no one talks about the real semites.

Not only does it want Gaza as its own territory it is banking on the idea that they will be able to secure the offshore gas that is off the Gaza border. They have explicitly told BPN on that they had interest in the area, and they wanted to sell the rights to dig multiple gas companies in the region.

It is sheer, greed, and capitalistic resource bargaining. That is causing this.

One thing must be changed in the Israeli society to offer equality for the Palestinian people who are still refugees with a continual reduction of their land by illegal settlements. The shipping people in from other countries and nations that will hold dual citizenship as "settlers" must be stopped immediately. Many of these land thieves are bad actors, who see an opportunity to steal, kill and destroy with impunity. Others see an opportunity to glean the benefits from where they come from and from low cost housing, free medical and other opportunities from moving to a land their ancestors from the time of Babylonian captivity, never lived in or even wanted to return to, once they were free to do so, and they were.
I've found it difficult to stomach seeing so many people who are walking around with such pride and arrogance, enjoying all the benefits of this regime who are obviously not from the region due to not only their appearance, but also how they speak. As an American veteran I resent our tax dollars of billions upon billions going to support them. I'm not alone in this sentiment. Americans are sick of it and those who've just been made aware of it are outraged by it.
The Israeli apartheid military regime is not a democracy. Just as the Palestinian Authority needs to be changed, so does this regime.

Netanyahu has already said that he plans to build settlements in Gaza, so obviously he wants g-cide. What are you even asking, AJ?

As an American I have noticed for some time most middle eastern policy is directed out of Jerusalem with only minor deviations tolerated. AIPAC and JDL are very powerful here full of vengeance and victimhood towards any one who dares to speak against Israel. Very sad experience for those of us who pay attention to Gaza horrors.

I think everyone knows what Israel wants. Israel is simply an extension of British colonial power. British was responsible for over 165 million death under its colonialism. But Israel is not UK empire. So it can only start small for land grab. And it doesn't have enough troop to colonize. So it is easier to get rid of people on the land and take them. Then they can build hotels and resorts to make money. Eventually if successful, it will expand to Egypt or Jordan.

Israel wants a pureblood ethnostate and lebensraum. How terribly familiar.
